Since the mouthpieces seemed to be harder to find than the horn, I started looking for a Conn contrabass sarrusophone.
Through sheer luck I found one only two weeks later through my friends at Dillon Music, and I bought it. I found the single reed sarrusophone mouthpiece (which was invented by Adolphe Sax, by the way) to be very easy to use. The double reed sarrusophone reed enables more control for the player, however.
I finally sold my sarrusophone to help raise money for a Tubax. I think the Tubax is a superior instrument.
